Despite Juventus' willingness to keep him, Mino Raiola could find a new club at Matthijs de Ligt. PSG, Barça and Tottenham are among the teams interested in the defender.
Renowned agent, Mino Raiola should be talked about in the coming months. In the shadows, he will try to find a new team for Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund) . The 21-year-old forward could take his step to the next level and join a prestigious team like Real Madrid . PSG is also monitoring its situation according to exclusive information from 10 Sport.com. But that's not all as Mino Raiola will also be busy responding to Matthijs de Ligt's demands. Linked to Juventus until 2024, the center-back would not be happy in Serie A and would have asked his agent to find him a new formation. “Matthijs de Ligt is now ready for a new stage, he thinks so too” confided Raiola . But which teams could welcome De Ligt .
PSG, Barça and Tottenham on the spot
In an interview with Nos, the Italian-Dutch agent provided part of the answer: “I think we all know which clubs to name for Matthijs de Ligt as the next step. We will see this summer. The Premier League? It could be Barcelona too, or Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain ”. The Real Madrid has not yet appeared, unlike PSG and FC Barcelona . According to information from Calciomercato.com, these two teams have advanced their pawns in this De Ligt file. The Parisian club have registered the name of the defender on their short-list and could take action in the next months. As for FC Barcelona , they have approached Juventus on numerous occasions, without making a concrete offer. A delicate file for the Blaugrana formation, weakened by big financial difficulties. Still according to the Italian portal, Tottenham would also have checked the name of the central defender.
Juve considers him untouchable, but …
But the team which will enlist the services of Matthijs de Ligt will necessarily have to lift the release clause present in his contract, and set at € 125 million. A colossal price, after a complicated period for football clubs. A clause which could even reach 140M € if the Dutch international remains at Juventus until 2023. Aware of the current difficulties in the world of football, the Old Lady would be ready to make a gesture and negotiate a transfer around 75-80M € according to information from Calciomercato.it. CEO of the Italian team, Maurizio Arrivabene took stock of this issue: “It's easy to talk about attachment to the jersey, but it's more difficult to prove it. Some are more attached to their agent than to the jersey. We have excellent relations with our players ”. Behind the scenes, Juventus pulled out the barbed wire and continue to regard the player as an untouchable element. But that might not be enough to keep Matthijs de Ligt , aged only 22, especially if a satisfactory offer arrives on the table of transalpine leaders.
